I’ve gone back to an old #novel I’ve been writing for years- this time I’m getting it done! 😉
But, in doing so I have decided to change the prose text from past-tense to present-tense to give the #narrative some extra tension and forward drive.
It’s working out so far, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s the right thing to do. Most narratives are written in past-tense after all, so it might make my novel less inviting.
@mjjmori@bookstodon@amwriting I've written two stories in present tense, and I did it with very little punctuation as well so that the narrative pulls you forward with no place to take a breath. I found it very effective, and then tit took me a week to shake it to get back to my usual past tense. 🥰🥰🥰
